Hi, I have windows 10 and I constantly get requests for updates on flash player. so I just go ahead and update as a result, on my download page i have a bunch of the older versions. Can I delete these to the recycle bin then completely remove them. Also, as i have windows 10 does adobe flash player come already installed and can i just ignore the update notifications?

    Hi,

    Yes, you can go ahead and delete the older versions of downloads. As you have mentioned that you are using Windows 10 and you get the update dialogue I am assuming you are using Firefox browser. If you are using Firefox/Opera browser then you will have to update Flash Player.

    Microsoft embeds Flash Player on Windows 8 and above for IE and Edge browsers only.

    Thanks!
